Kelly Rowland has revealed she wants to create a visual album.

The singer is likely to have been inspired by working on her new song The Game, a track exclusively for Beats of the Beautiful Game with Pepsi MAX.

The 33-year-old collaborates with Spike Lee, who has created a short film for the brilliant tune, on the exciting project.

Now the former Destiny's Child star is experimenting with a lot of new ideas in the recording studio.

The 33-year-old singer told E! News: "I would love to put together a visual album."

But she added: "It's really about making sure that the music is right and I'm in the process of doing that.

"Just getting in the studio, experimenting with new music, new writers, new producers, and just making sure I nail that because if the music isn't right you don't take anybody anywhere with the visual...you want both to really rise to the occasion, therefore you're really giving them moments that they remember, that you created."

She said: "I would really love to work with Kanye. He's one of those people that's very visual as well.

"He also believes in the music and believes in visuals and knows that they're just as important as the music and I respect that about him. I would love to work with Kanye."

Talking about the Beats of the Beautiful Game, Kelly said: "I was immediately attracted to The Game because I can identify with its theme of overcoming challenges and finding your voice.

"It's a very important message and I'm honored to partner with Pepsi on a project that brings the worlds of music, sports and film together. As an artist - and a huge film and sports fan - it's been an incredible experience."

The disc showcases a mix of rising and celebrated artists from around the world including Don Omar, Santigold and Timbaland and marks this year's World Cup, which kicks off in Brazil in June.

The complete 11-track album is out now.

The full track list includes:

Janelle Monáe - Heroes, with filmtrack by The Young Astronauts

Don Omar - Pura Vida, with filmtrack by Jessy Terrero

Rita Ora - I Will Never Let You Down (Switch Remix), with filmtrack by Diego Luna
